I have not gone to bed..it still counts :)

Was cooking supper tonight and could not figure out why the potatoes were not cooking. I thought they had cooked long enough, took them off the stove and drained them. I noticed the flame on the burner was barely there but thought....heck, I don't know what I thought. I tried to mash the taters but they kept flinging out of the bowl (all over me) because there were still to hard. I called the guys in from the garage and they helped me realize that we are out of propane. Aaaaagh!!! And...we can't get more until Monday. So, that leaves the 9 of us without gas to heat the house with or cook. I have no idea what we are going to do...We have heaters that plug in so thats not a huge deal and the weather isn't that bad outside. Cooking though? I am soooo sick of sandwiches, but it looks like it may be a few more days of that yet.

Spring cleaning in the Fall

knowing that we were doing the KET shoot on Cricket Press, that meant that I had to do A LOT of cleaning and straightening of the garage/bike storage/print shop. This is what it looks like afterwards. I can actually move around pretty well out there.
